Building lives for adults with special needs: The FRED Conference 2014

Share this:

When my son Matthew was a child, I was too busy with the day-to-day challenges of parenting a child with special needs to think about the future…

…until the middle of many sleepless nights.

The truth is, as children with developmental disabilities become young adults, there are few acceptable options for housing or work. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, only one in five people with a disability is among the labor force.

The good news is that there is a dynamic group of families, professionals and friends who are building communities for individuals with developmental disabilities—communities that include meaningful work.

If you are interested in understanding more about housing, employment and recreation for current and future generations of adults with special needs, you should register for FRED 2014.

This conference is your opportunity to:

Join a national coalition of special needs professionals and families.

Share information and advance adult living options for people with disabilities to live with meaning and purpose.

Understand more about housing, employment and recreation for current and future generations of adults with special needs.

Learn what exists today, best practices and how to get started with new cutting edge communities.

Be part of an ongoing discussion to build a future and change lives.

The FRED Conference is in it’s third year, and this years speakers will provide a goldmine of information with top experts on transition to adulthood.
